8.6 - Hoisting the Mainsail
To hoist the mainsail:
a) Unroll the mainsail.
b) Take the end of the main halyard that emerges from the top of the mast, and tie it to the head
of the mainsail, using a knot-on-knot.
Tying the main halyard
Put the top of the main sail into the opening in the mast track, just above
the gooseneck mast collar, from the starboard side of the boat.
c)
d)
Holding the main sail in line with the mast, pull on the
end of the main halyard.
Pull the main sail up to the top of the mast. You will need
to keep the sail in line with the mast to make pulling it up
easier, especially when passing the batten pockets.
If you are hoisting full sail ensure that the luff reefing
slug, used for and adjacent to the reef point, stays
OUT of the mast track.
Put the boat head to wind.
